Taste  This is like drinking sour grape juice with a malty barnyard backbone.

Mouthfeel  This one is light to medium-bodied with some easy carbonation. The complex mouthfeel is a battle royale between the tart and sour notes.

Drinkability  This was very entertaining to consume and clearly the liveliest of the Lindemans family Ive had to date. It is juicier than its Lindy cousins and probably my favorite of the bunch (although I think Ive rated them all about the same).

Pours a deep violet, blood red-like color, faint purple and pink head, very thick and puffy. Very nice lacing left along the side of my Duvel tulip. Aroma hits with a heavy dose of red grapes and berries, along with the alcohol, it makes for a smell similar to red wine. I'm also picking up a light balsamic vinegar smell - very tart and tingly on the nose. Taste starts off very sweet with a nice, small warming touch from the alcohol. Grapes, blackberries, blueberries, and black cherries all combine to provide a super-sweet but not overpowering or cloying flavor. The sweetness is followed by a heavy carbonation bite which transforms the beer from sweet to tart. Very tart in the middle, also puckering to the lips - interesting and tasty. The grape and wine flavor fades out to finish the beer off. Thin body, tons and tons of carbonation.

One of my first lambics, I prefer this one to Lindemans Framboise, just by a hair. Both are pretty good. I need to try a wider variety of lambics before I make any big judgement calls, but the ones I've had are definitely tasty.

This is a dull, plum-colored beer with a thin, pink halo of bubbles. Smells like grape kool-aid with smuckers in it. Acidity comes through in the nose. I taste and get light, rosey florals upfront. Amazing that I can taste that at all considering the hefty grape-juice tasting base. Berry is lively. Yeasty lambic tartness holds this down and acidity thins it down but the brew is still cloying. One of the better lambics from Lindeman's. Mouthfeel is mid-wieght, fuzzy and acidic.

Presentation: Corked, capped and foiled in a sleek mini 12 oz magnum. No freshness date though most lambics have an extended shelf life.

Appearance: Grape purple in colour with light pinkish lace.

Smell: Slight evergreen minty and earthy aroma along with mellow horse blanket and a fruity tartness similar to a tart grape.

Taste: Full yet crisp and stays soft with a smooth carbonation. Sweet tart candy flavour ... lots of tart currant flavour. Sweetness and tartness are balanced very well. As soon as the tartness fades a bit the underlying barn yard and a ghost like mint flavours give the tongue a quick yet light twang. Vague grain and a minimal hop in the absolute end.

Notes: A treat with complexities and very drinkable. Drink as you would a fine champagne or a prize sparkling wine.

I sampled the typical small bottle--foil, cork, cap-nice arty label. Pours a great plummy color, cloudy, light purple head, leaving oodles of classic lacing. Nose is fruity, musty, horsey. I love wild yeast! This is a dryer lambic then the others I've had recently, not as sweet, more sour and tart. Notes of plums and sour berries. Quite dry in the long lasting finish. complex and intriguing. Worth a try to expand your beer horizons.

The beer pours a dark red-purple color with a pink head. The aroma is tart and has a lot of red wine characteristics. The flavor is very similar to red wine and has some other fruit which is guess is the currants. There is also a little bit of tartness. High carbonation and medium mouthfeel. This has nothing in common with other Belgian lambics but as far as fruit beers go, this is a decent one.

Single corked bottle from Knightly Spirits in Orlando. Though my wife is a huge fan of the ale world, she always digs a fruit beer. Ah hell, I do too. Poured into my Lindemans flute glass, which incidentally I picked up two years ago at the same beer store. Full circle.

A hazy cherry-currant hue, with some champagne-like carbonation that quickly burned off. About a half-inch of light pink foam that receded into a fine ring. Lots of sticky lace.

Nose is predominantly lambic - tartness, acetic, a bit of that barnyard smell - but with a slight currant and apple smell lingering there.

An interesting and enjoyable lambic, that interplays sweet and tart successfully. As soon as I finish puckering at the brew's tartness, a sweet currant flavor would rush in to take its place. The finish is long and bitter, with a bit of barnyard musk competing with some soft currant and strawberry notes. Could have been very cloying, but the tartness works well.

Body reminds me a bit of fruit juice with some fleshiness to it, a bit thick, with moderate carbonation and some stickiness.

Nice lambic, with enough sweetness and tartness to please both camps. The currant flavour is subtle, but enjoyable.

Ruddy purple with a pinkish bubbly head that rises up frothy and sets down quickly.

Sweet and full aroma of plum and grape.

Bittersweet flavor, starting with bright and sweet, full on the front of the tongue, moving to a powdery tang in the middle and a pucker in the back of the cheeks as it finishes. Sweet and tangy taste lingers. Obviously big currant flavors here, but hints of blueberry and raspberry show through as well.

Decent mouthfeel, just a little on the slick side, not overly carbonated.

Tasty beer, good after dinner sipper, but not overly drinkable due to intense flavor, and over-sweetness.

Ruddy brownish red appearance, essentially opaque. Thin fizzy head of a dirty dark pink hue. Scant laces, just a few dots. Aroma is interesting, currant fruitiness but with prickly black pepper and vinegary sense like in Louisiana hot sauce. Taste is essentially tart, and as someone who ate a ton of homemade currant jelly as a kid, that's what's happening here. Slight undercutting yeastiness. Not overly sweet but not biting, Lambic and fruit seeem to meld as far as I can tell. Aftertaste sticks with you, but doesn't last for hours. Eh, OK, spiciness and aroma are noteworthy for me.

Let me just say, that after comparing the Lindeman's lineup to the Cantillon's I've tried I'm a bit confused. I think Cantillon is the traditionalist while Lindeman's has made some mighty fine dessert beers. However, I saw some of the characteristics of the Cantillon in the Cassis offering leaving me more impressed than the other fruit flavored lambics I've tasted. Appearance: Purple ruby tone with an effervescent pink head lacing even with each sip, very nice not much retention though. Aroma: Tart winey tones, with an herbal, musty earthiness very solid. By far the most complex smelling Lindeman's product I've had. Taste: Tart grapes (currants), sweet but herbal notes this is an awesome tasting lambic. Sourness is perfect not as lip puckering as a Cantillon but not as candy as the Kriek, Framboise, or Peche. Mouthfeel: Spritzy and light to medium bodied very bubbly, solid. Drinkability: This one contains the best balance for me, Cantillon is great but so sour and the other fruit infused lambics from Lindeman's are overly sweet this is the overall ideal lambic for me.
